Hi all,

breaks my
05:05.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
05:05.0 0780: 9710:9835 (rev 01)
        Subsystem: 1000:0012

which has two serial and one parallel port, driven by parport_serial.

The reason is, that this commit adds the PCI ID to 8250_pci, when it
was handled by parport_serial before.
In my case (openSUSE kernel), 8250 is built in and parport_serial is
built as a module. Unfortunately with the device occupied by 8250,
parport_serial finds no device and thus does not drive the parport.

I bisected this in the stable series after the openSUSE kernel update
(which pulled in the stable kernel update) broke my printing.

Actually the above commit is totally unnecessary: the serial ports
work very well without it, they are just driven by another driver.

Can this please be reverted? I can't see which problem it solves, but
it definitely breaks the additional ports on my multi-i/o board.

Best regards,

	Stefan
